Anaerobic Cultivation
The anaerobic module for the BioLector system consists of an anaerobic chamber for 48-well plates and an external mass flow controller for nitrogen (N2).
The MTP is filled and sealed with a foil inside an anaerobic bench. Afterwards, the anaerobic chamber is placed over the plate and sealed tightly with the screws on top of the lid. The plate-chamber combination is now protected from the outer environment and can be carried to the BioLector, maintaining the anaerobic conditions inside.
After placing the plate-chamber combination inside the BioLector, both are interconnected with the gas tubing. During fermentation, a continuous flow of N2 (or the individual gas) through the chamber is maintained. Therefore, any exposure to oxygen is prevented, providing a constant anaerobic environment.
Independent of the additional module all standard features of the microbioreactor remain unchanged.
